Fascinated by the beauty, fragility and mystery of Nature, Sébastien Pins shows an early interest in photography. He relentlessly strives to capture strong and magical moments of connection between Man and Nature. His work has received numerous awards across Europe.

In 2012 he directed a short film entitled "My Forest" in which he managed to capture the emotion and the magic of strong moments between human beings and nature through the eyes of a three-year-old boy. This movie won many prizes worldwide, one of which awarded by the United Nations in Istanbul during the "Forum on Forests".

"My Forest" was selected in more than a hundred festivals around the world, allowing it to be shown in many "Oscar Nominating" Film Festivals.
